Do you have any more information for making the reindeer?  Love them.

Carol

I used a template from a Suzie Millons book - Retro Crafts
For details on sizes, paper weight, how I resolved the antlers; you can check out my post http://angsandy.blogspot.com/2011/12/reindeer-advent-calendar.html

Oh it'll make lovely little tree ornaments !

He looks so adorable !

Totally love the matchbox advent idea !

What a cool tree idea !

Can you believe it's 5 more days till Christmas ? I've had a wonderful time this year making christmas decorations and cards. Here are some of them to fill you with the festive mood.


My advent calendar this year takes the form of 24 reindeers of varying sizes.


For the front door, what is more perfect than an origami paper wreath. I used scrapbooking papers but you can totally recycle old christmas cards. If you are interested to try making one for yourself, I have a tutorial here http://angsandy.blogspot.com/2011/12/origami-wreath-tutorial.html



Of course I made lots of Christmas cards. I even made up a story for the last card which I named 'Partying Snowmen'. While making it, I imagined my snowmen had partied too much and missed the last bus home. Hence the standing under a lamp post.


Here are the fronts and backs of an altered CD cover.


Also some altered candles to dress up the mantle.

Thanks for looking at my holiday crafts. Wishing everyone who celebrates a very Merry Christmas !

Yup the card's gone out to Jenny's friend.

I use the word 'hardworking' in the sense that a 12x12 piece of scrapbook paper can yield many interesting and varied projects. Something like this Passport paper with different geometric patterns on it.
Or a paper with figures like this October Afternoon one.



This paper I used up for my June OPP which I blog about here : http://angsandy.blogspot.com/2011/06/crazy-about-opp-1.html. I started this monthly series because I wanted to explore fully the possibilities of using up completely one piece of paper. And get the best value out of my $1.60 spent per paper.

Thanks KL ! I used Capella collection from Basic Grey for the transparency and rub-ons. If I 'm commission to recreate another, I'll have to source for these supplies again. The antique butterfly earrings are one of a kind and will have to be replaced by something slightly different.

Time to share my July One Paper Projects (OPP). This idea is to chose one really 'hardworking' paper from my stash and completely use it up on various projects. In this series, I wanted to explore the possibilities of asymmetrical patterns for making pockets.



By selecting different parts of the paper to cut my pocket template, I managed to get three unqiue designs. My favourite part was embellishing each with little labels, frames and buttons. I love working on this minature scale and each little cluster serves to anchor the paper pattern of the pockets. I've numbered the pockets #4,#5,#6 as I intend to send them out to the winners of the next three Sandy's challenge.



Here's the Making Memories' Passport paper I used to create all three pockets and the template I used. If you are interested more close-up photos, here is the link - http://angsandy.blogspot.com/2011/07/popular-opp-1.html
